Letter to Investors (Unaudited)

 

 

February 28, 2023

 

Dear Investors,

 

In these complex and uncertain times, we continue to work relentlessly to navigate markets and manage the assets entrusted to us. At Nationwide, we hold your confidence in the highest regard and will continue to work carefully to fulfill your diverse investment needs. In addition, we will maintain our unshakeable commitment to our employees, communities, and ultimately you, our investors.

 

During the six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2023, equity markets in the United States and other developed market economies showed remarkable endurance in the face of inflation, rising interest rates, and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Still, the concerns that weighed on equities and bond markets at the beginning of the reporting period will likely continue in the coming months. In the second quarter of 2022, the U.S. annualized gross domestic product (“GDP”) decreased by -0.6%. Then, the economy experienced stronger-than-anticipated growth, as the third and fourth quarters of 2022 delivered annualized GDP growth of 3.2% and 2.7%, respectively. Finally, the Atlanta Fed GDPNow1 initial estimate for the first quarter of 2023 GDP, as of this writing, was estimated at 2.6%.

 

In the U.S., the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) continued to take several steps to quell inflation. The Fed moderated the pace of interest rate hikes to 0.50% in December after four increases in a row of 0.75%. In January 2023, the Fed downshifted the interest rate hiking cycle to 0.25%, pushing the federal funds rate to a range between 4.25% and 4.75%. Likewise, following the Fed’s announcement of its interest rate hike decision on February 1, 2023, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of England (“BoE”) each followed suit with a 0.50% hike and reiterated that quantitative tightening (“QT”) would commence in March 2023 for the ECB (after the reporting period ended), while the BoE’s quantitative tightening will continue as scheduled.

 

Amid interludes of volatility, equity markets posted weak results during the reporting period as economic and geopolitical concerns weighed on investor sentiment. Unlike the first three quarters of 2022, the fourth quarter of 2022 saw most major U.S. indices record positive gains; however, the Nasdaq lagged and recorded a slight loss during the fourth quarter of 2022. Likewise, January 2023 saw equity markets stage a nice rally, only for the rally to be unwound in February 2023. Primary drivers behind the S&P 500® Index’s (“S&P 500”) lackluster performance during the reporting period were fears of a Fed policy mistake, inflationary concerns, and highly negative investor sentiment. However, during the first two months of the reporting period, investors appeared less reactive to negative news as two of the most significant headwinds of 2022, inflation, and aggressive monetary policy, moderated. As measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index, international markets enjoyed a risk-on rally during the reporting period. International markets benefited from better-than-expected Eurozone gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth, albeit tepid and export-centered sectors improved from China’s reopening. Further, a falling U.S. dollar buttressed global economic sentiment, and lower gas prices moderated inflationary pressures internationally.

 

During the reporting period, short-term and long-term U.S. Treasury yields moved higher. The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield was 3.91% on February 28, 2023, versus 3.26% on September 1, 2022. Likewise, the 2-year Treasury note yield, considered a proxy for the federal funds rate, was 4.79% on February 28, 2023, versus 3.52% on September 1, 2022. Within U.S. fixed-income markets, investor demand for shorter-duration and higher-quality bonds was a general theme during the reporting period. Also, the yield curve inversion between the 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield and the 2-year U.S. Treasury note yield continued to invert, falling to -0.89 on February 28, 2023, from -0.25 on September 1, 2022.

 

During the reporting period, investors have been confronted by an economic and financial market environment unlike anything experienced in the past decade. Uncertainty could continue to weigh on financial markets until clarity on inflation becomes more apparent. Further, corporate earnings will likely remain under stress as inflationary pressures challenge corporate profitability. Recent market volatility has shed light on the divergent viewpoints of investors, many of whom aim to prioritize shorter time horizons, reacting imprecisely to external stimuli and failing to control emotion when faced with volatility. Nevertheless, a long-term view and properly diversified portfolios remain crucial to a successful investment approach. Amid the challenges facing investors, Nationwide will continue seeking to deliver exceptional results for our clients. We thank

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

Nationwide Nasdaq-100® Risk-Managed Income ETF, Nationwide Dow Jones® Risk-Managed Income ETF, Nationwide Russell 2000® Risk-Managed Income ETF and Nationwide S&P 500® Risk-Managed Income ETF are each a non-diversified series (individually each a “Fund” or collectively the “Funds”) of ETF Series Solutions (“ESS” or the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company consisting of multiple investment series, organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 9, 2012. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and the offering of the Funds’ shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The investment objective of each Fund is to seek current income with downside protection. The inception date for Nationwide Nasdaq-100® Risk-Managed Income ETF is December 19, 2019. The inception date for Nationwide Dow Jones® Risk-Managed Income ETF, Nationwide Russell 2000® Risk-Managed Income ETF and Nationwide S&P 500® Risk-Managed Income ETF is December 16, 2021.

 

The end of the reporting period for the Funds is February 28, 2023, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the six-month period from September 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023 (the “current fiscal period”).

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

 

A.

Security Valuation. All equity securities, including domestic and foreign common stocks, preferred stocks and exchange traded funds that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global Market®, Nasdaq Global Select Market® and the Nasdaq Capital Market® exchanges (collectively, “Nasdaq”) are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded or Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. Prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current exchange rate, which approximates fair value.

 

Investments in mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) per share.

 

Debt securities, including short-term debt instruments, are valued in accordance with prices provided by a pricing service. Pricing services may use various valuation methodologies such as the mean between the bid and asked prices, matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations.

 

Exchange traded options are valued at the composite mean price, which calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest asked price across the exchanges where the option is principally traded. On the last trading day prior to expiration, expiring options will be priced at intrinsic value. The Funds’ Valuation Designee may also use other valuation methods in certain instances.

 

Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values in accordance with pricing procedures adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the pricing procedures adopted by the Board. The use of fair value pricing by the Funds may cause the NAV of their shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

February 28, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuations methods. The three levels of inputs are:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and based on the best information available.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of the end of the current fiscal period:

During the current fiscal period, the Funds did not recognize any transfers to or from Level 3.

 

B.

Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. The Funds report net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

 

C.

Federal Income Taxes. The Funds’ policy is to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Each Fund plans to file U.S. Federal and various state and local tax returns.

 

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions.

 

54

 

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

February 28, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the current fiscal period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

D.

Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income or separately disclosed, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the security received. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations.

 

Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or a return of capital. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, the Funds must use estimates in reporting the character of their income or return of capital and distributions received during the current calendar year for financial statement purposes. The actual character of distributions to the Funds’ shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of REIT investments, a portion of the distributions received by the Funds’ shareholders may represent a return of capital.

 

E.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income or return of capital are declared and paid monthly and realized gains on securities are declared and paid by the Funds on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

F.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

G.

Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of outstanding shares for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”) is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share of each Fund is equal to each Fund’s NAV per share.

 

H.

Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

 

I.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share and are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions. For the fiscal year/period ended August 31, 2022, the following table shows the reclassifications made:

 

 

 

Distributable
Earnings
(Accumulated
Deficit)

   

Paid-In Capital

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

February 28, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

During the fiscal year/period ended August 31, 2022, the Funds realized the following net capital gains/losses resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Funds rather than for cash. Because such gains/losses are not taxable to the Funds, and gains are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from distributable earnings (accumulated deficit) to paid-in capital.

J.

Subsequent Events. In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no events or transactions that occurred during the period subsequent to the end of the current fiscal period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Nationwide Fund Advisors (“NFA” or the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Adviser, the Adviser provides investment advice to the Funds and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Funds, subject to the direction and control of the Board and the officers of the Trust.

NOTE 5 – ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The following disclosures provide information on the Funds’ use of derivatives. The location and value of these instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the Statements of Operations are included in the following tables.

 

Options Contracts. The Funds may purchase call and put options. The Funds may also write options. When the Funds purchase a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Funds enter into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If the Funds exercise a call option, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Funds exercise a put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such a sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the loss of the premium paid.

 

A written (sold) call option gives the seller the obligation to sell shares of the underlying asset at a specified price (“strike price”) at a specified date (“expiration date”). The writer (seller) of the call option receives an amount (premium) for writing (selling) the option. In the event the underlying asset appreciates above the strike price as of the expiration date, the writer (seller) of the call option will have to pay the difference between the value of the underlying asset and the strike price (which loss is offset by the premium initially received), and in the event the underlying asset declines in value, the call option may end up worthless and the writer (seller) of the call option retains the premium. When the Funds write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gains from written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Funds have realized a gain or loss. The Funds, as a writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

 

The Funds’ use of derivatives is to hedge or mitigate the downside risk associated with owning equity securities.

The difference between book and tax-basis cost is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing wash sale losses in security transactions and tax treatment of certain derivatives.

 

A regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first day of the next taxable year. Qualified late year losses are certain capital and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the Funds’ taxable year subsequent to October 31 and December 31, respectively. For the taxable year ended August 31, 2022, the Funds did not elect to defer any post-October capital losses or late-year ordinary losses.

 

As of August 31, 2022, the Funds had the following capital loss carryforward available for federal income tax purposes, with an indefinite expiration:

NOTE 7 – SHARE TRANSACTIONS

 

Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on New York Stock Exchange Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in blocks of 50,000 shares. The general blocks of shares issued or redeemed are called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

 

The Funds each currently offer one class of shares, which has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The standard fixed transaction fee for Nationwide Nasdaq-100® Risk-Managed Income ETF, Nationwide Dow Jones® Risk-Managed Income ETF and Nationwide S&P 500® Risk-Managed Income ETF is $500, payable to the Custodian. The standard fixed transaction fee for Nationwide Russell 2000® Risk-Managed Income ETF is $750, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds’ Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order, or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% as a percentage of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for the transaction costs associated with the cash transactions. Variable fees received by each Fund, if any, are displayed in the Capital Shares Transactions section of each Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.

NOTE 8 – RISKS

 

COVID-19 Risk. The recent global outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn impact the value of the Funds’ investments.

 

Derivatives Risk. The Funds invest in options that derive their performance from the performance of an underlying reference asset. Derivatives, such as the options in which the Funds invest, can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative. Derivatives may have investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest, meaning that a small investment in a derivative could have a substantial impact on the performance of the Funds. The Funds could experience a loss if its derivatives do not perform as anticipated, the derivatives are not correlated with the performance of their reference asset, or if the Funds are unable to purchase or liquidate a position because of an illiquid secondary market. The market for many derivatives is, or suddenly can become, illiquid. Changes in liquidity may result in significant, rapid, and unpredictable changes in the prices for derivatives.

 

Sector Risk. To the extent the Funds invest more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, their performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors.

 

NOTE 9 – BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

 

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of 25% or more of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of a fund, under section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of the end of the current fiscal period, ownership by affiliated funds and the parent company of the Adviser was as follows:

Expense Examples

 

For the Six-Months Ended February 28, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below in the Expense Example tables.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table provides information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then, multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values based on a hypothetical return and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Review of Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

 

 

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust, on behalf of the series of the Trust covered by this shareholder report (the “Series”), has adopted a liquidity risk management program to govern the Trust’s approach to managing liquidity risk. Rule 22e-4 seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management, thereby reducing the risk that a fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Trust’s liquidity risk management program is tailored to reflect the Series’ particular risks, but not to eliminate all adverse impacts of liquidity risk, which would be incompatible with the nature of such Series.

 

The investment adviser to the Series has adopted and implemented its own written liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) tailored specifically to assess and manage the liquidity risk of the Series.

 

At a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the Trustees received a report pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the period ended December 31, 2022. The report concluded that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Series’ liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage such risk. The report reflected that there were no liquidity events that impacted the Series’ ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The report further noted that no material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.

 

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding the Series’ exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Series may be subject.
